Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The first time around, the '70s weren't considered such a great decade. But there's nothing that a little time and revisionism can't cure. So, here we have a comedy about how two young, clueless girls (Michelle Williams, Kirsten Dunst) alter the Nixon presidency and history forever. In the process, the soundtrack is able to revive the candy-striped soul of the Jackson 5 ("ABC"), several one-hit wonders (Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love," Hot Butter's "Popcorn," Stories' "Brother Louie"), and the hits of established artists (Elton John's "Crocodile Rock," Carly Simon's "You're So Vain"), all in the name of old-fashioned entertainment. And just as that leisure suit looks silly and quaint, so too these hits have a certain goofy charm. Perfect for a disco ball. The only disappointment is Sixpence None the Richer's remake of ABBA's "Dancing Queen." There's no need for an uninspired cover when the original would do. --Rob O'Connor

4.0 out of 5 stars funky funky funky, January 31, 2000
What a glorious piece of cheese this is! A couple of years ago I was one of those people who detested '70s pop, mostly because everyone else did. When I actually heard some of the stuff, courtesy of the soundtracks from "Boogie Nights" and "54," I quickly reversed my decision. While those two discs dealt more with the disco/club scene side of the '70s, the soundtrack for "Dick" is a glorious look back at the teenybopper hits of yesteryear.

Looking at the tracks, you may be thinking, "David Essex, Blue Swede, Grand Funk Railroad? Who the heck are they?" Well, they were the Ricky Martins, Britney Spears, and N-SYNC of their generation. They didn't get any respect then, just as our teen idols don't get any respect now. Whether or not they deserve respect is a moot point; fact is, then (as now) the stuff is damn easy on the ears.

Try getting through the "Dick" CD without cracking a smile, tapping your toes, or humming along: I dare you. Can't do it, can ya!

:o)

4.0 out of 5 stars Bring on the cheese!, August 19, 1999
By jharrison@apa.org (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
If you want to call pop music from the '70s cheesy, that's fine. However, the candy-coated, escapist quality of the music was designed to help people forget all of the turbulence of the 60s. Maybe that's what Dylan is touching on by accusing the music of being unrealistic. Fortunately, most of the songs on this album do have an infectious hook and are what I would call a guilty pleasure. The best example would be ABBA's original version of "Dancing Queen." Why Six Pence None the Richer or any group felt there was a need for a revision is beyond me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Soundtrack!, December 21, 1999
I have read some of the online reviews, and I disagree. This soundtrack has chosen some great 70's songs. I think it is well worth the money to buy this great soundtrack to a great movie.
